Doug,

Do you have the 1/18" Diecast Phantasm Car........?

I don't have one of them

Are you going to run billboards Doug ?

I wasn't planning on running the billboards,but who knows?Nothing is written in stone as of yet.

Very nice pics by the way.
Many different ideas about how I want my grille,wether or not to run the top of the door and quarter trim?Shaker or power bulge hood? I am leaning towards the power bulge,which is easy cause I have 3 of em now.

Here are a few with different colors.  All cars are 71's with the odd ragtop.

I have a 71 and am not a fan of the Gull Wing. I'll be running the thicker Go Wing. IMO it's thicker size suits the cars size and shape better. The points on the gull just look too thin and cheap. Just my opinion though. It's not correct but only you guys will know lol and I could careless about correctness. If someone points it out and quite simply remind them that they need a life and that Halo 3 does not count. Here is how it'll look on my Madeline.

Neither lol Dad's is due back from Paint in around 8-10 weeks, then we start. As for mine, I'm flat out broke and won't get my 71 (Madeline's) body work professionally done for a good 9-18 months, body work bills/labour aren't cheap. Sucks, but I knew this when I purchased the Ram. All good though. The parts are all there, just can't afford the body work. Thanks for asking, guess we're in similar boats and we even have at least 1 running toy to keep us from going totally insane.

Good to hear I am not the only one struggling(just kidding)I keep telling myself that the 71 is a project and there is no rush to finish it,but I would like to drive it before my kids graduate high school.I actually took the 69 off the road around Aug to kick back some money towards the house bills.The insurance is cheap enough on it,but if it's got plates on it?I would be tempted to drive it.And that gets$$$$.But I have this little Iroc Daytona that I have fallen in love with.Pic taken on a long straight back road late at night(Ya it will go a 100 and then some)So for now this will have to keep the Clown Mopar happy.

[Carlwalski]

That's the way mate, it's all worth it in the end. We'll get there mate.
One of the best parts of the journey, is the trip there.

Hey Doug,

Check this out. Nearly exactly what you were asking for except for the bumpers.
